In the evening, Hu Rong entertained Zhuang Rui and others with fresh conch mixed with chili peppers, which is the Bahamian's favorite. Hu Rong specially flew to the local fisherman's house yesterday to collect it. Everyone was very satisfied with the food.
After dinner, Zhang's mother, Li's sister-in-law, and Qin Xuanbing went to clean the room. Before this, no women had ever come to this island. They didn't trust the houses cleaned by the old men.
Peng Fei took a few security guards who intended to stay on the island to survey the terrain. Although the infrastructure of the entire island has been completed, there are no defensive measures in place. Someone might be interested in them.
of.
"Brother Hu, let's go for a walk too..."
To be honest, Zhuang Rui didn't want to stay in the room even at night on an island with such a beautiful scenery.
Street lights have been installed in the yard and paths of the villa. The palm trees under the lights look extremely beautiful. The warm sea breeze blows on the face, making people feel very comfortable.
"Brother Hu, are there any imperfections on the island? Tell me about it..."
Zhuang Rui is very satisfied with this unexpected private island. When he no longer has to worry about domestic business in the future, Zhuang Rui is ready to live here permanently.
"The infrastructure construction is almost completed. What you need to do is to strengthen the island's defense system and add some security forces and monitoring equipment at the airport and seaside. I haven't had time to install these yet...
"By the way, I built an emergency shelter underground in those six villas. The defense is very high. Nuclear weapons cannot withstand it, but ordinary aerial bombs are no problem at all..."
Hu Rong wanted to improve Zhuang Rui's defense system, but the cost and project were too great, so he had to settle for the next best thing. During the infrastructure construction, he dug an air-raid shelter under six villas.
You know, for such a large island, the initial infrastructure construction alone took nearly two years and cost more than 800 million US dollars. More than half of Zhuang Rui's shares in the gold mine were spent on this
Already.
Although Hu Rong also wanted to buy an island, he couldn't even think about an island like Zhuang Rui, which has its own fresh water and primitive ecosystem. He would spend tens of millions of dollars at most to buy an island of several hundred acres to play on.
That’s all.
"Are private armed forces allowed to carry guns here?"
Zhuang Rui frowned when he heard this. For him, the safety of his family is undoubtedly the first priority.
Although modern pirates have disappeared in this area, there are many places where you can land on the island. In this vast sea, if someone really has evil intentions, just a few speedboats can make dumplings of the people on the island.
"Guns? Haha, Zhuang Rui, you can just install a surface-to-air missile on this island..."
Hu Rong laughed when he heard this, pointing to the island in the night and said: "When this island was purchased, the relevant laws were not very complete. The Bahamas was quite chaotic at that time. Not only did the island's residence rights be sold, but also the territorial rights.
Once you sell it, in Western terms, you will be the king of this island. Haha, in Chinese terms, it is your responsibility to protect your territorial integrity..."
"Is...is this okay?" Zhuang Rui was stunned when he heard this, "Is it illegal for me to kill someone on this island?"
Hu Rong nodded and said: "Of course it's not illegal. You have the right to kill anyone who comes to the island without your permission. Let alone this island that belongs entirely to you. In Western countries, trespassing without permission
You can beat people to death in other people's houses without getting punished..."
"Damn, then I really want to transform this island. Brother Hu, I won't accompany you today. Let's talk tomorrow..."
Deep down, Zhuang Rui is still a person who is very afraid of death, especially after experiencing a death threat, which makes him value his own safety even more.
After separating from Hu Rong, Zhuang Rui immediately found Peng Fei and told him the contents of his conversation with Hu Rong.
"Brother Zhuang, this is so kind. Let's build a shooting range on the island. From now on, we can get rid of our gun addiction..."
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Peng Fei's first reaction was that he could play with guns again. Although he had been out of the army for some years, in Peng Fei's heart, he could never let go of the feelings of the war.
"Don't talk nonsense. What I'm asking is how to defend this island and what weapons should be installed?"
Zhuang Rui interrupted Peng Fei angrily. He knew nothing about the island's defense and could only rely on Peng Fei.
"This is easy to handle, Brother Zhuang. First, we need to install surveillance and radar facilities on the entire island to prevent anyone from sneaking onto the island...
Isn't there a mountain here? Let's find someone to dig two caves here and this location, and put two surface-to-air missile launchers inside. Well, this is anti-air defense..."
In addition, here at the harbor, I suggest buying a small submarine and building a minelayer to blockade the entire port. By the way, on several other beaches where landings can be made, a few naval guns should also be installed in hidden positions...
"
Peng Fei looked at the island map on the table. The more he talked, the more excited he became. He slapped the table and started dancing. Zhuang Rui was confused. This was not an island defense arrangement. It was simply building a maritime military.
A fortress.
"Stop, stop, damn, this place is close to the Bahamas, and there are patrol fleets in the surrounding waters. Do you need to wear those things? Besides, where can I buy those things?"
When Zhuang Rui thought about it, the first one Peng Fei said was somewhat reliable. Even if Zhuang Rui was willing to spend money, he might not be able to equip the other ones. As for the submarine minelayer, could he get it?
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Peng Fei curled his lips and said: "Brother Zhuang, as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't buy? The Russian Navy only hopes to buy these things for food. If you go to that boy Li Zhen, he will do nothing to you."
Everything is clear..."
"Can you really get it? How much would it cost?"
Zhuang Rui somewhat believed it when Peng Fei mentioned Li Zhen. Weren't the weapons on his Xuan Rui equipped by these two guys?
However, the defense of that cruise ship alone cost Zhuang Rui tens of millions of dollars. If such an island were to be armed, Zhuang Rui really didn't know if his wealth would be enough?
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Peng Fei counted on his fingers: "Two surface-to-air missile launchers, plus the missiles, cost about 50 to 60 million U.S. dollars, and the hairless submarine is estimated to cost about 50 million U.S. dollars.
To equip it with a weapon system would cost about 20 to 30 million yuan..."
"Wait, submarines need to shed their hair? Does your submarine have hair?" Zhuang Rui couldn't help but interrupt Peng Fei.
"Ahem, Brother Zhuang, when I say hair removal, I mean that in addition to the diving function of the submarine, all the radar defense and offensive weapons inside have been removed..."
After Peng Fei explained it to Zhuang Rui, he finally understood that although Russia sells some submarines and ships that are in service, they don't sell everything, and many of their core technologies have been removed.
"Forget it, I don't want this thing. If I buy a submarine, don't I have to find someone who can drive it? I don't want a minelayer either. That thing is too eye-catching. How much does it cost to install shore defense weapons..."
Zhuang Rui thought for a while, unless there was a third world war, he would not be able to use those gadgets, and the armed forces of dozens of countries and regions around him were not just for show.
What's more, the Bahamas and the Association of Caribbean Nations now rely on leasing and selling islands to make money, and the people buying and selling are all internationally renowned figures. If safety issues are not guaranteed, they will not be able to continue this business.
"I think we need three to four billion US dollars. I don't know much about this matter. It would be better to ask that guy Li Zhen to do it..."
Peng Fei thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't give Zhuang Rui a clear answer. He was good at killing people, stealing goods, attacking and causing destruction, but if he was asked to build defenses, he would be blind.
"Okay, let's wait until we get to Central Africa and ask Li Zhen to come over..."
Qian Zhuangrui didn't care much about it. Although the gold mines in Myanmar were about to be exhausted, the sale of the jade mine was also put on the agenda. And because the price of jade has soared in recent years, the British finally offered fifteen
The price of 100 million pounds is a full 300 million higher than before.
Moreover, the Central African Mining Company that is about to mine is a rare mineral that is more valuable than gold. According to the bright future planned by Song Jun for Zhuang Rui, his 15% share can earn at least one to two hundred million per year.
US dollars.
It is probably extremely rare for someone like Zhuang Rui, who does not engage in financial stocks or industrial investment, to earn such a fortune in just four or five years, not only in China but also in the world.
The defense construction of the island cannot be completed in one or two days.
Now that there are many close relatives of Hu Rong's family on the island, there is no problem with safety for the time being. Zhuang Rui is relieved and plays with his wife and children for a few days, and officially names the island "Xuan Rui Island"
"!
After living on the island for almost a week, with three or four days left before the deadline given by Song Jun, Zhuang Rui took Peng Fei to leave the island. At this time, the Xuan Rui led by Li Zhen also arrived.
Gulf of Guinea in Central Africa.
The plane landed at a military airport not far from the Gulf of Guinea. After getting off the plane, two off-road vehicles parked next to the plane.
The off-road vehicle with thick steel plates welded to the doors and windows made Zhuang Rui suddenly become nervous from his originally extremely relaxed state. No matter what era, Africa... is always associated with the two terms of turmoil and killing.
together.
Due to poverty, backwardness and constant wars, Africa has the largest number of mercenary organizations in the world, and there are even many small countries or regions that are controlled by these organizations.
